Dyk nr: 56, Doonee beacon, Killary, Ireland

Very pretty and dense kelp 7-3 m depth, ideal for safety stops.

Some fish, including dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula), which seems to be curious towards divers (or at least not afraid).

Deeper there are some boulders, with some crustaceans including big lobsters (Homarus gammarus), and crab (Cancer pagurus), and also echinoderms, such as, Asterias.

Some cute smaller invertebrates can be observed:


Sponges: Cliona celata - loads
Gray (incrusting sponges ) - No idea (P - photo taken)
